1. Hospital Administration wasn't there, they were on the phone call she was on when she was placed under arrest. 


So you're telling me that the hospital administration (who clearly know the rules) could not communicate with the other officers at the scene (who were working security for the hospital) to intervene and protect this woman since they outnumbered the detective officer? I didn't say anything about attacking the cop. But if the other officers would have spoken to the man or provided any opposition, I doubt things would have unfolded exactly like they did. Those officers are paid to provide security while they are there. They didn't do anything.

You are talking about a security guard Vs police officer standoff of sorts? No way that ends well.

Most of your legit security in a larger hospital are off duty cops working a second job as security. They are in their police uniform but are working for the hospital and not PD. Problem is that they are working likely for the exact same police department or a very close agency. Like a city cop on duty and a county/Parrish sheriff doing his security gig.

How would that have helped?

Who do trust more to communicate a clinical process, a seasoned nurse or a security guard?

That makes no sense. The nurse was the best person to explain that process. Administration was on the phone on the way there when it happened, telling the cop he was making a huge mistake. So again, who do you think can communicate that process better, a seasoned nurse, Admin on the phone, or Hospital Security? No brainer who is last on that list.
